FORD TRANSIT2022 · 2.0L Diesel

The Ford Transit presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent DVSA test on 19 March 2026 at 59,036 miles returning a pass with no defects recorded. Prior to this, the vehicle passed again on 1 April 2025 at 40,834 miles with no advisories or faults noted. The history shows no escalating mechanical concerns across the recorded interval. The recorded mileage of 59,036 at the 2026 test equates to roughly 14,759 miles per year since first registration, which is high for a four-year-old vehicle and points to sustained commercial-style use rather than light private running. Between 1 April 2025 and 19 March 2026 the van covered 18,202 miles, a brisk accumulation that loads wear onto drivetrain, suspension bushes, and brake discs. The MOT data is sparse, with only two test years captured, and shows a clean sheet aside from the anomalous 1 April 2025 entry where the tester logged a fail immediately followed by a pass at identical mileage. That same-day fail and pass at 40,834 miles with no defects recorded suggests an administrative or procedural rejection rather than a genuine mechanical fault, though a buyer should confirm the reason code with DVSA. Given the high annual mileage and Transit class, in-person inspection should target front suspension arm bushes, rear leaf spring mounts, and brake caliper slide operation for binding. Examine subframe and chassis legs for corrosion and check tyre tread depth across all positions given the wear rate implied by the odometer. No recurring advisories appear in the record, so no worsening pattern is demonstrable. The buyer should still commission a pre-purchase inspection to validate structural integrity and consumable condition, as the short MOT trail leaves drivetrain health between tests unverified.
